About this bottle
The Aberlour 1988 Distiller's Selection Miniature is a highly rare, collectible 5cl single malt Scotch whisky bottle produced exclusively for the Spanish market. Originally distilled in 1988 and bottled circa 2002 at 40% ABV, this limited edition stands out significantly from standard Aberlour releases due to its unique maturation profile. While standard Aberlour heavily relies on dark Oloroso sherry casks, industry experts note that the 1988 Distiller's Selection likely utilized Fino and/or Manzanilla sherry casks, resulting in a distinctively crisp, fruity, and estery profile.
